The International Rose Test Garden is situated within the Washington Park. My family and I took the MAX to the Washington Park station, and then bus 63. Note that the bus only comes once in an hour. However between Memorial Day and Labor Day, you can also take the Washington Park Shuttle that comes every 15 minutes. The garden is... more
We visited at the very end of September. Having just been to the Oregon Garden with so-so roses, we were a little skeptical about taking the time to come here. But we were up early, so we went, and we were SO glad we did. It was amazing! The flowers were just stellar - so many colors and varieties -... more
We really enjoyed our trip to the International Rose Test Garden. First of all, admission is FREE! The garden features some 7,000 rose plants, spread over several acres. There is a gorgeous variety of specimens, and all of the gardens were very well-maintained. We spent about an hour there, strolling among the blooms. An FYI - Part of the garden... more

It's easy to get there... more

I have been to prettier gardens, but I've never been to a garden... more

This is such a great place in Portland to spend some time relaxing and strolling through the gardens. There is also a small gift shop here and a... more
These gardens are worth a special trip to Portland. They are simply gorgeous! So many varieties, colors, variations, and sizes of roses! The smell is absolutely intoxicating. The carpet of color all around you is such a visual delight. On a clear day you can also see Mt. Hood in the distance. While the gardens are at their peak in... more
